Re: Kruis

It's only the Irish who can't see that O'Mahoney and SOB were outplayed. I feared it would happen. I looked back at recent form. I looked at how the Sgarlets destroyed O'Mahoney and Stander. I looked back at how Wales completely destroyed Ireland in that area in the six nations. Overhyped. One of t...

Re: Lions team 2nd test

The Murray criticism is laughable. Smith dropped three of the box kicks. He was our best source of consistent territory. He was the best source of AB possession. They want him to play again next week!! The superb try we scored was from open play - nought to do with him and his speed and delivery!! ...

Re: Gatland

Not much Garland can do about the poor finishing that's on the players on the field to take their chances. They have to dominate possession in the first 20. The box kicking was ineffective and gave the ABs confidence. Again spot on. I bet our forwards, after winning the hard-fought ball thought fud...
